NMR Studies of Drugs. Applications of Achiral and Chiral Lanthanide Shift Reagents to a 5-Substituted-4-thiazolidinone

The 60 MHz ¹H NMR spectra of racemic 5-[[3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]methyl]-4-thiazolidinone, 1, have been studied in CDCl₃ solution at 28° with the achiral lanthanide shift reagent (LSR), tris (6,6,7,7,8,8,8-heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedionato)europium (III), 2, and the chiral LSRs, tris[3-(heptafluoropropylhydroxymethylene)- (+)-camphoratojeuropium(III), 3, and tris[3-(trifluoromethylhydroxymethylene-(+) -camphorato]europium (III), 4, Significant enantiomeric shift differences were observed in the presence of added 3, for the aryl protons of 1 that should permit direct determination of enantiomeric excess. Relative magnitudes of lanthanide-induced shift for the different nuclei of 1 with the three LSRs are compared and discussed in terms of preferred LSR binding sites. A favored conformation of 1 with respect to rotation about the C(5)-CH₂ bond is suggested.     

NMR Studies of Drugs. Applications of Achiral and Chiral Lanthanide Shift Reagents to the Analgesic,Famprofazone: “Anomalous Shifts”

The 200 MHz ¹H NMR spectra of the analgesic, famprofazone, 1, have been studied in CDCl₃ solution at ambient temperatures with the achiral lanthanide shift reagent (LSR) tris (6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8-heptaf luoro-2, 2-dimethyl-3, 5-octanedionato) europium (III), Eu(FOD)₃, 2, for spectral simplification, and with the chiral LSR, tris [3-(heptafluoropropylhydroxymethylene) - (+) camphorato] europium (III), Eu (HFC)₃, 3. Lanthanide induced shift (LIS) magnitudes suggested predominant LSR binding at the carbonyl oxygen. Substantial enantiomeric shift differences were observed for several nuclei of 1 with added 3 which could permit direct determinations of enantiomeric excess.     

Determination of Paint Solvents by Vapour Phase Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry.

A fast procedure has been developed for the direct determination of paint solvents. The method is based on the injection of small volumes of untreated solvent mixtures into a heated Pyrex glass reactor in which the sample is volatilized and introduced by means of a flow of nitrogen into an IR multiple pass gas cell and the spectrum in the mid-IR region is registered as a function of time. Data found for samples are interpolated in calibration graphs obtained by injecting different volumes of pure compounds which constitute the solvent mixture. A methylisobutylketone (MIBK) toluene mixture was used as test system to develop the proposed procedure. The method provides a limit of detection of the order of 1–4 μg, a relative standard deviation of the order of 0.4 to 2% for five independent measurements, and recovery percentage values from 99.8 till 103.6 %. A commercial sample of polyurethane paint solvent has been analysed by the developed procedure.     

Simultaneous Determination of Multicomponents in Air Toxic Organic Compounds Using Artificial Neural Networks in Ftir Spectroscopy

The application of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) for nonlinear multivariate calibration using simulated FTIR data was demonstrated in this paper. Neural networks consisting of three layers of nodes were trained by using the back-propagation learning rule. Since parameters affect the performance of the network greatly, simulated data were used to train the network in order to get a satisfactory combination of all parameters. The mixtures of four air toxic organic compounds whose FTIR spectra are overlapped were chosen to evaluate the calibration and prediction ability of the network. The relative standard error (RSD%), the percent standard error of prediction samples (%SEP) and the percent standard error of calibration samples (%SEC) are used for evaluating the ability of the neural network.     

Carbon Isotope Analysis in Urea at High 13C-Abundances Using the 13/12CO2-Breath Test Device Fanci2

Abstract

The increasing application of ¹³C-labelled urea in medicine requires simple and reasonable methods for measuring highly enriched ¹³C in urea. The combination: ultimate organic analysis—mass spectrometry so far prescribed is complicated and expensive. For medical diagnosis, however, isotope selective nondispersive infrared spectrometers (NDIRS) have been available for many years. One of these tools is FANci2 which is very reasonable and easily to be operated. By means of such devices also urea highly enriched in ¹³C can be analysed, provided that the samples are first diluted with a defined amount of urea of natural isotopic composition and then transformed into carbon dioxide by means of urease. The relative abundance of ¹³C in this carbon dioxide, measured by nondispersive infrared spectrometry, is then a measure of the ¹³C abundance in the initial urea sample. Comparison of results of such measurements with those attained by mass spectrometry proves that this procedure is feasible and yields precise results.     

A Double Isotopic Labelling Study of the Infrared Spectra of the Linkage Isomers [Pd(bipy)(SCN)2], [Pd(bipy)(NCS)2] and Related Complexes

Abstract

The IR spectra of the linkage isomers [Pd(bipy)(SCN)₂] and [Pd(bipy)(NCS)₂] have been determined in the C≡N stretching region (2200–2000 cm^?1) and below 500 cm^?1. The band shifts resulting from deuteration of the 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy) ring and ¹⁵NCS-labelling are shown to provide a ready means for distinguishing between the internal ligand modes, the μPd-N(bipy) and μPd-SCN/μPd-NCS vibrations. The assignment technique has been further extended to the complexes [Pt(bipy)(SCN)₂] and [Pd(phen)(SCN)₂] (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline). Finally, a comparison between the IR spectra of [Pd(bipy)(NCO)₂], [Pd(bipy)(NCS)₂] and [Pd(bipy)(SCN)₂] reveals that the frequencies μM-NCO, μM-NCS and μM-SCN decrease in the sequence NCO > NCS > SCN.     

Electron Spin Resonance Study on Grafting of Tetrafluoroethylene onto Polyethylene

An ESR study has been made on the course of grafting of tetrafluoroethylene onto polyethylene. Alkyl and allyl radicals trapped in the polymers were measured under various grafting conditions. It was observed that alkyl radicals decay very rapidly when monomers are in contact with the irradiated polymer, while allyl radicals decay very slowly even in the presence of monomers as in the decay of radicals in irradiated polymers without monomers. The effect of pre-irradiation temperature on grafting was also studied, and the rate of grafting was found to be much faster for lower pre-irradiation temperatures. From these experimental results it was concluded that alkyl radicals play an important Tole in the initiation reaction of grafting.

Gauge invariance,charge conservation,and variational principles

We present new results on the correspondence between symmetries, conservation laws and variational principles for field equations in general non-abelian gauge theories. Our main result states that second order field equations possessing translational and gauge symmetries and the corresponding conservation laws are always derivable from a variational principle. We also show by the way of examples that the above result fails in general for third order field equations.
